The 6-foot-3, 245-pound Flournoy-Smith, who took an official visit to Tuscaloosa this weekend, is the only tight end in Alabama’s top-ranked 2014 class. He is rated a two-star prospect by Rivals and also had offers from Louisville and South Florida.

In his lone season at Georgia Military, Flournoy-Smith caught six passes for 134 yards and five touchdowns while blocking in a run-heavy offense.

“It was going really good until he broke his foot,” Georgia Military coach Bert Williams told the AJC. “He got rolled up blocking a guy in our third or fourth game. He made it back for the last regular-season game and bowl game. He wasn’t 100-percent but he was out there. He did a really good job for us.”

It appears that Flournoy-Smith has made positive changes in his life. He impressed Williams during his time at Georgia Military.

“We haven’t had any problems with Ty,” Williams said. “He has done fine in the Cadet Corps. He has worked hard on the field and he has done well in the classroom. He came in with a good attitude, and he was really helpful with some of our freshmen guys. He was shown good leadership in helping them get past the freshmen challenges they all deal with. We’ve been very pleased with him. He’s a good young man and will do well.”

Flournoy-Smith will graduate from Georgia Military after this quarter and then will have three years to play two seasons for Alabama.
